Economic Globalization
In 1990s, global situation was drastically changed. As collapse of the cold war structure, advances in technical innovation and advent of digital information ages
lowered the barriers posted by nation borders, business became to be very competitive on a global basis.
Advance of economic globalization required for business people to promote intercultural harmony and to accept the concept of individualism and different religions.
In the 21st century international mega-competition as a
result of social, economic and cultural globalization, it has become an urgent issue to nurture global
management professionals working in the borderless world.

Global management professionals are the basic figure of human resources who play an active role in the
international competition.
Such personnel must have advanced knowledge and skills in management under diversified environment with various cultural and social backgrounds, on top of basic quality to act in international society.
Global management professionals are required to
understand more about the values of different cultures and make full use of advanced management skills to win the competition.

Globalizing the School’s Management Education
It’s no exaggeration to say that the mission of the business
school is to “nurture world-class management professionals”. The reason for this is because the aim of education includes nurturing of human resources in response to the needs of the times. In recent times of international mega-competition
caused by rapid globalization, fostering excellent
management professionals with strong leadership and
creativity to support global competitiveness of organizations is an urgent issue. The School must describe how it creates a global educational and research environment.

Standard 1-MISSION STATEMENT
Detailed Standard 1: “The School must develop its mission
statement with the aim of nurturing highly skilled
professionals in management who are able to meet the
needs of globalization.”

goals which imply innovation and discovery, global
engagement, and diffusion of technology for realizing its
mission statement.”

Humanizing Management Education-1
Abundance
Adam Smith explained the principle of “competition” based
on the natural “abundance” in John Locke’s “Two Treatises of Government”. Smith explained that pursuit of self-interest
leads to greater good for all through “invisible hand”. When John Locke referred to “abundance”, the terms “ownership” and “property” were identical; a man was able to obtain what
he needed out of the plentiful gifts from god, without violating the ownership of others. His world portrayed
“common interests” but not the “conflicts of interest”.
ABEST21
Humanizing Management Education-1
Scarcity
However, as capitalist economy developed, the world turned
into what David Hume called “Scarcity”. Things which were
once so freely obtained - “water”, “air”, even “sunlight” -
have become scarce resources. Countries compete with each
other for ownership of these resources. “Ownership” and “property” are now separated. The world is full of “conflicts of interest” competing for “ownership”. The traditional
Humanizing Management Education-2
Transaction
This world of scarcity created the relationships of “conflicts of
interest” of properties to meet the human needs. “Conflicts of interest” mean “interdependence” which is based on “order”. To resolve these social economic issues, “conflicts of interest”, “interdependence”, and “order” must be pursued based on
economic, legal and ethical viewpoints.
John R. Commons said in his “Legal Foundations of
Capitalism (1924)” that the minimal unit to analyze the social economic activities of the members of the society is
“transaction”.

Humanizing Management Education-3
Working Rule
Transaction is conducted based on a “working rule” which consists of four auxiliary verbs: 1) can = Right, 2) cannot = Exposure, 3) must, must not = Duty, and 4) may = Freedom.
Man’s will to execute the transaction is called “will-in-action”.
Can: Right
Humanizing Management Education-4
Will-in-Action
“Will-in-action” is an action which aims to expand one’s own
economy by 1) choosing the “direction of force” (AB or AC), i.e. to “do” or “not to do”, and 2) choosing the “level of
force” (practice AD or control DB), i.e. “the extent of action” or “hold back the action”. The will of Adam Smith’s “homo
economicus” based of Locke’s “abundance” is said to be “will -in-vacuum”, since its motto is to pursue self-interest;
“direction of force” is the only choice it makes. The choice for the “level of force” does not exist in the market environment.
Humanizing Management Education-5
Diversity
In particular, the advancement of economic globalization has integrated the world market with a worldwide competition. Under such circumstances, the companies must face various values from different cultures as well as individualism of the world. Since individualism is backed by religion, one must
have the understanding of the world’s religions such as
Buddhism, Islam, or Christianity to cope with the
Humanizing Management Education-6
Ethics and Liberal Arts
“Ethics” is “the right path”. It puts a stop to our action so
that we can follow the action rules for transaction.
On the other hand, “Liberal Arts” education strengthens
the human core and broadens one’s perspective of the
world.
In business school education to nurture management
professionals, it is important to focus on analysis-oriented education to cultivate expertise aiming to enhance
countervailing power.
However, in order to coexist with diverse values in the world, we must not forget to foster high morality in management professionals.
